It has been a week since that little hospital experience. They tried to persuade you that it was all an, oh, how did they put it? A dream. Bull-shit. You knew better, so you just nodded your head and smiled. They bought it.

Idiots.

They released you that following week, where you then proceeded to go home, and this is where our story picks up.

"Damian! Dorian! I'm home!" You called to your babies. (A/N: Okay, I was going to have you make up the names, but it's just easier for me to give them one. I'm lazy!) You somehow got your old neighbor to take care of them during your little vacation. HA! You giggle as they jump up and start licking you like there was no tomorrow. "Okay! Okay! Gerrof!" Disappointed in your lack of enthusiasm upon seeing them, they take off into the kitchen. "Bah."

You look around the house. Nothing. No blood. Maybe they were right? Was it all just a so called dream? It couldn't be, it was too real. You walk over to the spot where the cop's body was. There was nothing, no stain, nothing. `Hrmph, I don't believe it. He died! He was dead! It was NOT a dream!' So, you got on all fours and crawled around looking for any evidence. "(You're Name)?"

You jumped up and reeled around, ready for anything. You sighed as you seen it was just Pete. (A/N: Lets call your old neighbor Pete…*gets Oompa Loompa's thrown at her* GAH! <x-x>) "Hey! I didn't know you were here, you scared me for a sec."

"Oh! I didn't know you were home! I was just about to take them *points to dogs* out for a walk."

"That's alright, I can take them out. I need the exercise." You glance over at the old man. It would have been amusing to watch him walk 2 fully grown Siberian Huskies, heh. They didn't listen worth crap, typical Husky's.

"Are you sure? You just got released from the hospital, shouldn't you be in bed?" He looked genuinely concerned. HA! That's funny! When are people ever concerned about you?

"Yes, I am quite capable of walking my own dogs. Thanks for the offer, and no, I don't have to be in bed." You attempt to smile at him, but it turns into a lop-sided frown.

He insists that he takes them out, but you reject his offer, kindly of course. After about 5 minutes of arguing, you finally get him to leave. You stalk over to the kitchen and open the pantry. `Mmm…Ichiban.' You grab a packet and make yourself some dinner.

The rest of the day passes without event, and you find yourself back in your house. You live by yourself. You don't remember anything but waking up in a park, with a sack full of gold and jewels. Since your 16, it's legal for you to live on your own, which you did. You made enough money from selling all of the precious metals and such to buy yourself a decent house and support you and your puppies. You smile as you look down at your dogs; they were resting peacefully by your feet. You have always had this strange bond with animals, it was like they could understand what you were saying. You shrugged, and got ready for bed. Shopping requires energy, and you wanted to get to the stores early to avoid the rush! So you flopped down onto your bed and turned on your C.D. player. You dozed off as you listened to Lover I Don't Have To Love by Bright eyes.

The sun shone through your window, waking you from your slumber. You groan and decide to get ready. You hop into your car (lets say you have a little civic SI, alright?) and drive to the nearest Wal-Mart. You purchase all the school supplies that you need to start school next month and throw them into the trunk of your car. You then proceed to the mall, and buy all the clothing you need for school. Before going home, you zoom off to the nearest Wendy's and buy some supper. You walked into the restaurant, and everything just froze. Nobody was moving, and time itself seemed to halt. Just as soon as it happened, it stopped. Nobody noticed anything. `Oh god, that coma gave me brain damage.' You bought your supper of choice, and sat down to eat.

You turned toward a T.V. playing in the corner of the room, which was currently on the news. "…police are investigating the cause of this double homicide. All residents are urged to stay inside and call you're…" but what caught your attention was the house on the T.V. that was currently police taped off. "Oh god" you muttered as your drink fell from your hands. Everything started to slow down again, as you helplessly watched as the liquid slowly started to pour out of the cup. Everything just froze again. "What's happening? Hello? Can you hear me?" You ran over to the nearest person and started shaking him. Suddenly, the temperature began to drop. You looked down and could see little puffs of steam, your breath. "Wha-"you stopped, as you felt a presence behind you.

"I know who you are…" You turned around only to face nothing.

"Who's there? What's happening?" You scream. The temperature becomes increasingly colder. Your body starts shivering, as you try to regain lost body heat.

That presence, it's behind you again. You gather up all your strength and swing your leg out behind you, trying to catch whoever it was off guard. Falling over from the force of your own kick, you register the sound of laughter. "Who the hell are you? This isn't funny you sick bastard! What's happening?!"

"Your so naïve…" This time, the voice seemed to echo off the walls. You stumbled back onto your feet and tried to find the source of murmur.

"You bastard! Where are you?" It was so cold now, you didn't know how the others could take it. You were sure it was cooler than -40 (Celsius, that is).

"I know where you live, and who you are. Remember that, princess." And with that, everything returned to normal. The cold completely dissipated. Everybody started moving again, carrying on with their own business. No signs of the cold remained, except for your blue hands. Your breathing came out shallow and ragged. You lift your trembling hands to inspect them. They were slowly regaining their color. The people are looking at you oddly now.

"Hey, are you alright?" Some guy comes and asks you.

"I'm fine!" You snap back at him.

"Are you sure? You don't look that well, you should go get a doc-"You cut him off.

"Mention a doctor or hospital and I will personally make sure that you can never have children" He gives you a startled look. "I'm fine, so mind your own business!" `I have to get home, now.' And with that, you run out of the restaurant and into your car. `

You drive down your street, to only see it barricaded my squad cars and fire trucks. `Please, please not let it be him...' but fate was against you. You slowly drove up to the barricade, when a fireman approached your car. "Miss, this street is blocked, you'll have to find another way around." What's up with all the miss' these days? Hrmph.

"I'm sorry, but I live right over there" you point to your house.

"Really? Do you know where your parents are at the moment?" Parents? You don't have any, hell, you can't remember anything.

"No, I don't." You lied to him, not wanting to get on the subject. You stole a glance over at an ambulance. Funny, you didn't see that there before. That's when it hit you. "Where's Pete? Is he okay? I ne-"

"Calm down. I think it would be best if-"

"NO! Where's Pete?" An officer had seen you speaking to the firefighter and walked over to the two of you.

"Is there a problem here Miss?" The cop asked you in a stern voice.

"Its not miss, its (name). I need to find Pete, so if you would excuse me..." You jumped out of your car and tried to make your way through all the commotion.

"Miss, I think you should come with me," the officer prompted, and led you over to a skinny woman with messy black hair. "This is Detective Pierce. She will explain things to you"

"What happened?" You ask her rather hesitantly.

"Do you know a Peter Knoll?" She put her glasses on and looked you in the eyes. She had the most piercing stare you have ever seen.

"Y-yes…He's my neighbor. Where is he? Is he alright? I seen his house on T.V. and-"

"He was murdered." She pointed to the ambulance that you had seen pull up earlier. Some paramedics were currently wheeling a body bag on a stretcher into the back.

"W-when did this happen? Who did it? Why-"

"Sorry, I'm not at liberty to discuss these things with you. Do you know if he had any enemies or medical conditions?" She dropped her gaze and shuffled some papers.

"Why not?" You roared. He was YOUR neighbor! You had every right to know why he was dead. "I had just seen him this morning! There was nothing wrong with him! What happened?"

"Miss, please calm down. We do not know what happened. We received a 911 call from his son, and then we came here." She seemed saddened by this.

"Scott? He was here? Where is he? I want to speak with him!" You searched the mass of people for any signs of the old mans son.

"He's… not here. He was killed shortly after he called us. We don't know the cause of death either. There were no wounds, no poison, nothing." What? No wounds? How is that possible? You just don't drop dead of fright, or can you?

"So you don't know anything?"

"Yes. Now I shall have an officer escort you into your house to grab some belongings. You can stay at this hotel" she hands you a note "and I will be in contact with you...err?"

"(First name and last name.) How long do I have to stay there for?" Even with the death of your dearly beloved neighbor, you felt no sympathy towards him. Strange.

"We don't know. We need to investigate some more. I highly recommend that you stay away from here for a while though." She said this as if she knew something else.

"Why?" BAH! What an intelligent question.

"Because we don't know what the murderers intentions are. He may come back, and we can't risk anymore people getting hurt." She signaled to some other officer, and he made his way over to you. "Now, Greg here will escort you into your house. Grab a few belongings, go have a good rest and come down by the station tomorrow. Okay?"

You stared at the cop that just came over. It was him! The one that died before! He was dead! How can he be here? You just stared at him blankly, your mouth hung wide open. "Miss? Are you alright?"

You let out a startled squeal, and looked at the detective again. She was giving you a worried look. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"Y-you! You're dead! How-how did you get here!" You start to back away from him.

"I assure you that I'm not dead. Now, let's go get your things." You hesitantly comply, and follow the so-called dead man back into the house. Maybe he was a zombie? You picked out a few things that you might need, threw them in a travel bag and made your way out of the house.

"GET DOWN!"

BANG!

Pete's house just spontaneously combust. Debris was flying everywhere, and the weight of the officer on top of your body prevented you from moving. Finally, the weight was lifted. The detective was back, and she was pulling you up. She wrapped her arms around you and led you towards an ambulance. "Don't look back," she said shakily. Of course, when somebody tells you to do something, you always do otherwise. You sneak a glance back at the officer. You could see paramedics running over to wounded personnel, but then you rest your gaze on Greg. (Remember, Greg is the cop that escorted you into your house).

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" You scream. His body was mutilated, and he no longer had a head.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In a whole other country, a red headed fox demon woke with a start. A high pitch scream still reverberated in his mind.

"She's…..here."
